Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4-6 lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust according to desired sweetness)

4 cups cold water

Ice cubes

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Blend the Cucumber: Begin by placing the diced cucumber and half of the fresh mint leaves into a blender. Add 1 cup of cold water and blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and homogenous.

    Strain the Mixture: Once blended, pour the cucumber and mint mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or a piece of cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard any solids left behind.

      Combine Ingredients: In the pitcher containing the cucumber juice, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the honey or agave syrup. Pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and the sweetener is dissolved.

        Infuse with Mint: To enhance the flavor, add the remaining mint leaves to the pitcher. For a more pronounced minty aroma and taste, allow the mixture to infuse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

          Serve: When ready to serve, fill individual glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled cucumber mint lemonade over the ice, ensuring each glass is filled. Garnish each serving with fresh lemon slices and a sprig of mint for a vibrant touch.

            Enjoy: Sip and relish this invigorating beverage, perfect for cooling off on a hot day!
